Feeding a newborn is a full-body experience, and engorgement can make those early days feel exhausting. ​When her body feels painfully firm, the goal isn’t to completely empty the breast. The goal is just to ease the pressure so her supply can regulate naturally over 24 to 48 hours. ​If she is struggling, a few small acts of care go a long way. ​Bring a warm compress for two minutes before the baby latches to help the milk drop down easily. Once the feed is done, hand her a chilled wrap to soothe the inflammation. ​Remind her that this tender stage passes quickly, and make sure she knows she doesn’t have to navigate it alone. #Mothercare #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #BreastfeedingSupport #MaternalCare #Mothercare #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #BreastfeedingSupport #MaternalCare
